Will Lakey took his re-furbished Swing rifle and hand-loaded ammunition up to Cawdor for the Inverness Open and won the Queen's I prize, the King George V cup against first class opposition. The Queen's I competition is for the first 7 shots at the three distances, 300, 500 and 600 yards and his score of 105:9 represents 21 bull's eyes with 9 of them in the inner or "V" bull. This is good shooting by anyone's standard. Will with the King George V Trophy There had been a bit of trouble with ammunition at Will's last outing as he had been seduced by the siren voices advocating "neck-sizing" but after a few words from Charles Young and some additional work on the current batch of ammunition order has been restored.

Bearsden's newest member
Greg Stevenson (17) has
become this year’s National Smallbore
Rifle Association Junior Scottish Champion.
Taking part were under-18s from all over the UK, in a week of smallbore target shooting in
the grounds of Thirlestane Castle,
Lauder. Shooting at 50 metres and 100
yards, Greg set the standard on the
morning of the first day, but had to wait for nearly a week to find out he had
won. No-one managed to beat him in the next five days, and with an excellent score of 383 ex 400,
Greg won by two points. Greg receiving the Scottish Junior Champions Cup from Captain, the Honorable, Gerald Maitland-Carew
Greg started his smallbore target rifle shooting three
years ago at Kelvinside Academy, rising to become top shot and Captain of
Shooting this session. Greg is now
leaving Kelvinside Academy to go to university, but will be continuing his remarkable shooting career with
Bearsden & District Rifle and Pistol Club, who will be delighted to take a
new champion on board as a new member. Report by Charles Young, Master of Shooting, Kelvinside Academy.

Simon Melville is the latest member to score a perfect 100. Simon, who has been shooting for about three years, has seen steady improvement since starting and has managed to master a modern Walther which he aquired a year or so ago. As usual normal service was resumed with the next card but congratulations to Simon. Ron Kane was not available for comment.
